I became DIO's vicious stepmother

...Listen, what the hell is he talking about?

Dio's whispers in my ear were not heard by Marlene and Susan, they just seemed a little nervous and at a loss, and the expression on my face was a little bit unstoppable.

It's really a very typical anti-social personality would say... He can be so confident.

As if Dio had succeeded, he lay back on the sofa and looked at me provocatively, with a slightly malicious smile.I felt that this kind of behavior could not be tolerated, so I thought about it carefully, turned to Marlene and Susan and said, "Today's work is over, you can go back early."

"Really? I can still work, ma'am." Marlene said awkwardly, not knowing what happened.

"Don't worry, you guys are paid a lot, I have something to say to Dior, go back early and come here on time tomorrow."

After I gave them a little bit of my daily salary, the two girls breathed a sigh of relief, thanked me a thousand times, and left my house happily.Dio seemed to be curious about what I wanted to do, and his gaze followed me intently.

After seeing off the maid, I locked the door unhurriedly. After looking at Dior on the sofa, I smiled and took out the pointer that Mrs. Lawrence gave me from the cabinet.

Dio's expression changed instantly.

He instinctively sensed the imminent danger and turned around to run away. I didn't give him this chance, so I immediately chased after him and slapped his butt hard.

"How does it feel? Are you happy?"

"Are you crazy?!"

Dio looked at me incredulously, and I grinned sarcastically.

"Yes, forcing others will be very happy. I am also very happy to beat you now, but are you happy?"

"how is this possible!"

"Then you have to remember one thing for me!"

I slapped him on the butt a few more times, and said fiercely, "Don't impose on others what you don't want!"

"You...wait for me!"

Dio was angry and annoyed. Although he was taller than me, it was still impossible for him to really wrestle with me. After being beaten by me a few times, he burst into tears because of the shame.Angrily, he fled back to the room, locked the door behind his back, and yelled at me from inside, "You woman, wait for me! I will repay you double in the future!"

?

Want to double the reward?You're thinking about shitting.

"Reflect on yourself, whether what I said is right or not."

I think it's almost the same. We can only use hard and soft to deal with Dior in this era, and we can't push too hard.He has a very strong self-esteem, and if he is not careful, he will explode, so it is better to give him a step down.

I stood at the door of his room and calmly reminded him, "Before doing anything, you must consider the consequences you will bear. Even if you transfer the risk to others, you cannot escape joint responsibility. Those two girls and Like you in the past, they are equal to us, and they also have the opportunity and possibility to change their lives, and if you deny them, you deny yourself."

"..."

Dio ignored me, I heard the sound of something falling inside.

He has always been more emotional, and it is difficult for him to restrain himself, whether it is anger or desire, but I still have to explain some truths to him, and I need to put some pressure on him.

It is impossible to influence an antisocial personality. Only by convincing him logically will he listen to your opinion.

"I treated you that way just now, you are very angry, right? But have you ever thought that if you treat others in this way, you will also hurt others? Although you are happy, the other party may hate you, just Like you hate me now. People can’t and at least shouldn’t make enemies easily. As your elder, even if you don’t like me, I have to teach you this truth. Be kind to people, Dior, even if you don’t like that person, even if That person is just a commoner, but no one can say that one day he might become famous, and maybe you will need his help."

Just like you are now, I said in my heart.

Dior also wants to climb up, it is impossible not to understand what I want to express.

The movement in the room gradually quieted down. Seeing that it seemed to be effective, I paused and continued, "Only by being slick and slick, no one can offend you, and you can win the favor of many forces, will you have a chance to truly climb to the pinnacle of power .I know that your heart is full of darkness, you are a bad boy, but you don't need to pretend in front of me, I am willing to accept you like this and guide you in the right direction."

"........."

After I finished speaking as if from the heart, the room fell into a long silence.

Dio didn't speak for a long time. I don't expect him to digest my words immediately, but I think it can make him think about it.

After all, I'm going to be touched by myself.No matter how hard-hearted people are, they will be a little shaken!

"The only reason I treat you like this today is to let you understand how annoying it would be. I hope you can socialize normally, make friends normally, and live like a normal person in the future."

After I finished speaking, I didn't stay any longer and left the door of his room directly.

At this time, there was an inaudible murmur from inside.

"Humph……"

…………

After dismissing the maid, I can only go to the market to buy vegetables by myself.I plan to make grilled oysters and braised beef tonight. In the past two years, I have successfully brewed soy sauce with steamed soybeans. After many attempts, I finally formed a satisfying and delicious taste, which can unlock the traditional braised dishes up.

Because the British in this era don’t have castrated pigs, pork has a smelly smell. I tried to buy pork once, even if I added countless spices, it was still so bad that I couldn’t eat it.Therefore, I had to reluctantly give up the traditional dish braised pork belly, and could only buy beef conservatively.The braised beef is cooled and cut into thin slices. It is a very delicious way to eat and can be stored for several days. Speaking of which, maybe one day I can try to make ramen and promote Chinese cuisine in the UK...

I thought about all kinds of dishes in my heart, and carrying a basket, I came to the market that was mixed with fishy and foul smells.

The hawkers in the market kept shouting, and I went to the seafood stall to pick fresh sea fish that had just been unloaded from the boat.Freshly pried oysters are sold on the stalls one by one, and you can buy a big and fat oyster for 4p.A few passing men couldn't help being tempted, and sucked up directly aside, throwing oyster shells all over the ground.

This way of eating is very primitive, but I was also greedy after watching it, so I bought ten oysters and planned to share them with Dior at night.In addition, I also bought a sea fish of unknown species, a pound of beef, and some spices.When he was about to leave the market with a basket, he accidentally bumped into a woman.

"Ten, I'm very sorry..."

The woman seemed to be very weak and fell to the ground all of a sudden. She lowered her head in fear and apologized to me.

"Ah, it's okay, are you okay?"

I didn't understand why she was so nervous, so I helped her up casually. At this moment, I suddenly noticed that the woman in front of me seemed familiar.

Isn't this the woman who was photographed in the photo studio with Dorian Gray that day?

Mr. Berg said they were all daughters-in-law, and I remember she was consumptive.

Maybe because she noticed my scrutinizing eyes, the woman's eyes dodged a little.

"I'm fine, thank you for your relationship, uh... cough cough cough..."

Before she could finish her sentence, she coughed violently again.Once a tuberculosis patient coughed, it was difficult to stop. She was so out of breath that she couldn't even speak.

I couldn't bear it immediately, and after hesitating for a while, I handed her the water bottle I was carrying with me.

The woman shook her hands in fear, not daring to pick it up, and coughed even worse.

I shook my head, "It's okay, it will be better if you drink some water."

"but I……"

She coughed up a mouthful of blood, and I subconsciously held my breath and handed her the water bottle.

If it is modern medicine, tuberculosis is not an incurable disease, but it is a pity that it is still the nineteenth century, and this woman will not live for long.

"It's okay, give this to you, don't give it back to me." This is the only thing I can do.

"God bless you, kind lady...cough cough cough..."

The woman gave me a grateful look and took the water bottle I offered.Then I knew that this disease would be contagious, so I covered my mouth and left in front of me quickly.

poor woman.

I felt sympathy for her misfortune, but there was nothing I could do about it.

When I got home with the vegetables I bought, I found that Dio had gone downstairs at some point.He was sitting on the sofa reading a book, and when he found me back, he just glanced at me out of the corner of his eye, as if nothing had happened before.

I also kept my mouth shut about what happened before. After simmering the beef in the water as if nothing had happened, I threw it into the pot and started to smolder. Then I rinsed the oyster shell, took out the oyster knife from the kitchen, and started shell.

I'm not very good at opening oyster shells, even if I bought a special double-sided knife, it took a lot of effort to open one.When I got to the fourth oyster, the shell of the oyster was too tight. When I tried to twist the oyster knife to pry it open, I accidentally cut my hand and cut a big gash on the index finger.

"what--"

I yelled in pain, and my hand was bleeding profusely. I was afraid of causing bacterial infection, so I quickly dropped the knife and planned to wash it with water.Hearing the movement, Dio couldn't help but glanced at me, then he suddenly closed the book, got up and came to my side.

"Can you cut yourself with an oyster?"

He stared at the wound on my hand and frowned slightly with contempt.

"Because I'm not very good at this..."

I looked at my fingers with a headache. This problem is not big or small, but it is not easy to touch the water.

There was some tearing pain between my fingers. I was going to find out the medical kit I prepared and bandage my fingers a little bit. However, at this moment, Dio suddenly grabbed my hand and gently took my cut finger into it. into the mouth.

"you……"

I looked at him in amazement, with a slight throbbing pain and a strange numbness between my fingers, feeling that the blood that flowed out was being sucked away.

Not long after, he let go of my hand, took out the gauze from the medical kit, wrapped my fingers calmly, and seemed to have a trace of nostalgia.

"When I cut myself, my mother used to stop the bleeding like this."

He said indifferently, and picked up the oyster knife that I dropped on the ground, just like a skilled surgeon, he cut one by one, and dealt with the remaining oysters very neatly.
